Default Anyone have one of these?

I got it off ThinkGeek.com:



It's a Powerball hand gyro. You get it spinning and it start generating this incredible force in the palm of your hand.

http://www.powerballs.com/

It can spin up to 15,000 RPM (not sure when VTEC hits :P). At that speed, it's generating 40lbs of torque.

Not to sound like an ad...but this little device is amazing. Guaranteed to make your arms burn (even for those of us who spank the monkey hourly).

some guys in my freshmen english class (4 years ago) got that taken away from them because they were retarded and didn't know what "put that away" meant.

^^^No that is actually a little more fuel efficient.
